Just a guess: did you also install the includes and libraries (package 
python-devel)? Maybe they are needed at some time in the installation or 
so.
I found that SuSE 9.1 has a whole bunch of programs needed by lilypond in 
versions older than required by the latest stable release 2.6.x; in 
particular, I had found that the executable produced from the autopackage 
of 2.6.x would not run for some reason on my SuSE 9.1 box in spite of 
being installed without errors (I mentioned that earlier on this list). 
In the end I compiled 2.4.6 from the sources.
HTH,
